This Act has been repealed and is no longer in force. It is retained for historical reference.
What this does: Updates the official mailing addresses for Australia's Offshore Processing Centre in Adelaide.
Key changes:
Who it affects: Anyone required to send legal documents or correspondence to the Offshore Processing Centre — typically lawyers, migration agents, or individuals involved in offshore processing matters (such as asylum seeker cases processed under regional arrangements).
Why it matters: Legal documents must be sent to the correct address to be considered properly served or received. This ensures official correspondence reaches the department's offshore processing unit.
